SC:G is a console exclusive. As for the doublespeak, it kinda goes with angry fans explaing to you the exact semantics of every of your words and why you lied to your paying customer, you scumbag.

Evidence for Starcraft 2:
1) FAQ quote already given 2) Ending of Starcraft+secret mission. 3) Warcraft and Diablo have had some attention in last few years. Its now been 6 years since Starcraft. Give it some love please! 4) It would give Blizzard a shed load of cash.
Like other people have said, I expect from pre-developement work being done now, and full developement started after WoW and SC:G.

Diablo Two's expansionwas good, nothing more nothing less.
I like the look of Ghost, it allows newbies and vets alike to enjoy a game by the look of it.
WoW's beta testers are fawning over it and I've only seen a few problems but Blizzard said they were dealing with it, AKA re-vamping rest system.
WoW will hopefully be a wow, bad pune intended, and I think it will be as long as they add enough quest content and fix PvPing and include RvR well.
